I have one or two zucchini (courgette) ready to pick I like to pick them when they are quite small but sometimes they just seem to double in size overnight. Enjoy the rest of the week.

Spring is definitely my favourite season but I love the freedom of summer- each season has a different feel to it - I suppose I enjoy them all in different ways. I don't grow as much veg as I would like but it is enough to enjoy each new crop as it comes along. Bees realty are fascinating creatures aren't they.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-38298997880535753582014-07-08T07:11:47.108+01:002014-07-08T07:11:47.108+01:00Sorry to hear you are shivering Susan - our turn w...Sorry to hear you are shivering Susan - our turn will come soon enough.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-36966542657472344992014-07-08T07:10:55.842+01:002014-07-08T07:10:55.842+01:00Yes you are right Cro - most of the fields around ...Yes you are right Cro - most of the fields around here are the same - it is all mainly pasture land now though.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-8518959194916210052014-07-08T07:09:27.497+01:002014-07-08T07:09:27.497+01:00Absolutely - although I don't even want to thi...Absolutely - although I don't even want to think of February right now - this summer isn't turning out too bad at all.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-50834904366446572692014-07-08T07:08:19.408+01:002014-07-08T07:08:19.408+01:00It's a shame we can't introduce a way to s...It's a shame we can't introduce a way to scratch-and-sniff a blog post, now wouldn't that be something.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.com
